The road was closed around noon Saturday because water from a nearby stream is covering the pavement, the dispatcher said.

The part of the road that is closed is located near Route 17, he said. There are no homes on that end of the road, the dispatcher said.

Late Saturday morning the National Weather Service in Gray issued a flood warning for the Swift River in the Oxford County town of Roxbury.

The Weather Service said the warning has been extended until Saturday evening. As of 11 a.m. Saturday, the river was at 8.4 feet and rising, according to the Weather Service. Flood stage for the Swift River is 7 feet, the agency said.

A dispatcher with the Oxford County Sheriff's Department told WMTW News 8 early that as of early Saturday afternoon there had been no reports of flooding.

The Weather Service said it expects the river to rise to nearly 9.3 feet by Saturday afternoon before falling below flood stage later Saturday.
